The fascination with cars preserved liked old farm implements has only grown in recent years with the rise of old car values at auctions. Here's the latest example: a 1964 Aston Martin DB5, similar to what James Bond drove in "Goldfinger," that had sat in a barn for 33 years. At a Bonham's auction to be held at Aston Martin's factory in May, the DB5 is expected to fetch about $300,000  and that will be only the new owner's downpayment.

Makes sense to me, but I’m talking about “shape”. It may make sense to you if I just say I don’t like the ‘shape’ of either of those cars I mentioned “from the side”. Just me - and I can write it in pig-latin if it helps, lolol.

I don't know which way I would go on the Aston Martin, some say it's only original once and would just get it running and wouldn't restore it VS the people who want it restored to factory original but completely gone through so it's like it just rolled of the assembly line. I think I would restore it but use modern parts like electronic ignition but change nothing permanently.

Thank you, I do love Lincolns. I was interested that you posted about your old Mark VIII Lincoln because I have a ‘57 Lincoln Continental Mark II that's been sitting in my garage for ‘many’ years. It was not fun for me to drive, too cumbersome for ‘nowdays’ but fun to take to Festivals or car shows. Baby Blue, original color.
